Sennyū ji, Imperial Temple
The Kyoto National Museum is displaying valuable statues of Buddha that usually aren’t open to the public.
The statues, designated as Important Cultural Properties are being displayed in two feature exhibitions of the museum, “Sennyū-ji, Imperial Temple” and “The Newly Conserved Standing Zaō Gongen Sculpture of Sanbutsu-ji Temple, Tottori”.
The first features treasures such as calligraphy, painting and sculpture from Sennyū-ji Temple in Kyoto, known as Mi-tera or Imperial Temple due to strong connections with Japan’s imperial family.
The second, on the other hand, is from Mitokusan Sanbutsu-ji Temple of Tottori Prefecture, known as a sacred place for mountain-worshiping religion. The sculpture is being shown to visitors, celebrating the completion of conservation.
This is a good opportunity to get acquainted with the culture and collections of temples preserved over centuries.
